PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Dust, a common form of air pollution, is particularly problematic on roadsides, which are important habitats for plants and pollinators. We investigated whether and how road dust affects plant sexual reproduction using Primula chungensis in a biodiversity hotspot. Our study provides compelling evidence that road dust can harm plant reproductive success

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how cooperative interactions remain stable matters for biodiversity because many plants rely on specialist insects that can also impose reproductive costs. We studied the interaction between Sambucus sieboldiana and seed‐consuming Heterhelus beetles through detailed field observations and pollination experiments.

Ceylon Journal of Science, 2018 According to the seed defense theory, predation and pathogenicity should be lower in physically dormant (PY) seeds than those of no-dormant (ND). Thus, a study was conducted to determine the predation and pathogenicity of four tropical Fabaceae species ...

Interactions between nodding thistle seed predators
New Zealand Plant Protection, 2007 The biological control program against nodding thistle Carduus nutans commenced in New Zealand in 1972 with the introduction of the receptacle weevil Rhinocyllus conicus Seed predation by the larvae of this univoltine weevil did not bring about the desired reduction in nodding thistle populations and in 1992 a further seed predator was introduced the ...

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.American ginseng is a shade‐obligate, North American medicinal plant that is widely traded and used internationally. To meet global demand, ginseng is cultivated in forest farms in the Appalachian region of the USA and field‐based artificial shade farms in two regions: Ontario, Canada and Wisconsin, USA. We conducted social research leveraging in‐depth

Seed Ecology of the Invasive Tropical Tree Parkinsonia aculeata [PDF]
, 2018 Parkinsonia aculeata is an invasive tree native to tropical America, but introduced to Australia. Propagation and stand regeneration is mainly by seed. To gain baseline knowledge for management decisions, seed bank dynamics were monitored for two months ...

Gene turnover in the common ancestor of all C4 grasses
PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.Understanding how plants evolve more efficient photosynthesis is important in a warming world where improving crop productivity and resilience is a global priority. By generating the first reference genomes for an early‐diverging group of grasses called the Aristidoideae, we were able to reconstruct the genetic makeup of the last common ancestor of all
